Odaily News: If Democrats win a majority in the House or Senate in the U.S. midterm elections, while it may not necessarily prevent the Trump administration from advancing deregulatory policies for Wall Street banks, prediction markets, and the crypto industry, it would gain stronger investigative and oversight tools.If Democrats control either chamber of Congress, they would have subpoena power, larger investigative teams, and the authority to compel government officials and corporate executives to appear at hearings. Wall Street financial institutions, crypto companies, and related regulatory agencies could face more scrutiny. It is reported that crypto industry figures are particularly watching whether Representative Sean Casten may wield greater influence after Democrats regain control of the House Financial Services Committee.

Odaily News: The 2026 Nobel Prize in Economics has turned the spotlight on a question that is undergoing change within the Federal Reserve: should the central bank continue to explain its policy logic to the market and signal the future direction of interest rates in advance?Bloomberg columnist Jonathan Levin noted in a commentary published on Tuesday that the research of this year's Nobel laureate in economics, Michael Woodford, happens to pose a challenge to Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh's stance on forward guidance and policy transparency. Levin argues that Warsh tends to reduce the Fed's external communication, while Woodford's research shows that how a central bank explains its policy decisions is itself an important part of how monetary policy works.The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences on Monday awarded the 2026 Nobel Prize in Economics to American economists Robert E. Hall and Woodford, honoring their contributions to the theory of economic stability.
